creative disruption

This is about deliberately disrupting current systems, habits, structures and presumptions in order to challenge the status quo in the name of encouraging better...we love it. And we tend to think that this stirring things up in order to shake ourselves out of the porridge of inertia we find oursleves glued into is probably quite a decent first step on the way to survival. Y'know. Getting through the planet sized hot mess of crises we appear to be bent on boiling up right now... so go disrupt that sh*t.

You might just make something better.
